While it may be cheaper and easier to just put in a Jack and Jill bath for secondary bedrooms in a family home, consider allotting private bathrooms instead to widen your appeal. For buyers with multiple generations living in one household (a growing group), those private bathrooms can mean the difference between a grown child sharing with grandma (probably a situation that neither of them particularly relish) and everyone enjoying comfort and privacy. And if one of those secondary bedrooms is on the first floor, where it's easier for an elderly person or those with limited mobility to access? Even better.
This contemporary design presents a one-story layout with privacy for everyone, especially the master suite. The great room's super-open layout makes it easy to move from the living space to the dining area and into the island kitchen. Set across the home from the secondary bedrooms, the master suite offers a luxurious bathroom, a walk-in closet, and an adjacent study that could easily serve as a nursery or snore room. Kids will love the game room, which would also make a great home gym with views of the backyard. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
